I'm going to build a new frondend machine. What would be the way to go. PVR 350 with tvout or just use the vga out. Suggestions for a nice quiet vga card ? I'm connecting it to an lcd tv that has both VGA and s-video inputsWell, I suppose two questions have to be asked here:
Well, here comes another question: how much tinkering time do you have?Based on what you seem to want out of this, if you have enough time and enough ingenuity, an XBox just might be the perfect thing for you. There's a version of MythTV available (you can download the entire set of files needed, pre-compiled) but you have to either chip or soft-mod your XBox to do it. On the plus side, you have a small form factor, quiet machine, and an easy to configure and install remote.
But this is just one option, and it doesn't allow for things like wireless (though I doubt you'd want this), a lot of expandability, or high def.
Well, if you can stand a pair of optical drives, try KnoppMyth, though I'm not sure this is what you were looking for.1.) What kind of TV is this front-end being hooked up to? High-Def, or Standard Def?no HD2.) Do you plan on going to High-Def any time soon?I've no plans3.) Do you want to do anything more than just playback on this front- end?just playback, i've got enough pc's :-)) has to be queit (i think even diskless)
